NBA Draft Lottery

[Rain man]

We are drafting Murray and I am happy about it!

 

[fansinceday1]

For me, let the other teams make the hard decisions. I wouldn’t trust this FO to make a hard decision.

 

[SacTownKid]

Damn, would rather stay at 7.

Knowing Monte's MO he might just pick Ivey.

Dude, Ivey might be the highest potential player in this draft. Plays both ends, elite athletically, etc. If he's at 4, he BETTER take that kid.

 

[Tetsujin]

Well, Ivey/Banchero/Murray/Sharpe. All solid picks.

We have the definite ability to trade down a few picks to a team who needs a lead guard. Always the chance someone goes crazy and reaches on Ivey or Sharpe and lets one of the bigs fall to us.

 

[iowamcnabb]

That’s a tough position to be in. I am leaning Sharpe right now

 

[fansinceday1]

I wouldn’t put it past monte moving the pick. The kings are in a good position to get a good haul.

let’s see if monte has it in him to fleece someone who desperately wants to move up.

4th is definitely an interesting spot to be in. Also might be a good spot to trade down to 5/6 if needed for Murray.

I really do appreciate all the furor over the brief moment in time that we were picking 5 or 6 and the board lost its mind.

Also we jumped Detroit, which is pretty cool.

#4!

 

[est.1999]

Hahahaha we jumped up and still got me disappointed

Ah, forgot about Sharpe. Right now I'd be tossed up between Ivey and Sharpe if there but I'd still lean Ivey and call it a day.

4th overall is pretty much the best scenario possible for me this year. Chet Holmgren and Jabari Smith are both too risky and will be gone in the top 3. Ivey and Banchero are both poor fits. We should have our pick of the wing prospects at 4th overall and Keegan Murray is back on the table now (he probably wouldn't have been at 7th overall).

 

[Capt. Factorial]

At least #4 is the most interesting possible position. Smith almost certainly is going 1/2/3. But I can see any two of Ivey/Banchero/Holmgren/Sharpe taking the other two slots in the top three, and then we throw Murray into consideration at least and we're going to be debating at least five players for this slot, only two of whom will be gone by the time we pick. Gonna be an interesting month!

Take that Casey! haha.

4 is a smaller number than 7. I don't like this.

This draft was hard to blow but it just about became impossible. Sharpe, Ivey, even Murray, Davis as a riser etc. and none should be horrible fits.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

we were the only team out of the bottom 4 to move up.

honestly, you have to love it, even if our best guy would be gone at 2.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The last time the Kings picked at #4, we missed on Steph Curry! Oh noes!

 

[fansinceday1]

Has anyone asked who Anjali prefers?

It's not a prime number, so that's a good thing... right?

too soon...

At least I feel better about the organization developing talent.

crazy the last time we picked at 4 we were the lotto's big loser, this time we were the big winner in terms of expected positioning.

The other thing that might deserve some conversation: Trading up.

I 100% disagree. Not answers but you don't pass up the potential and unless Sharpe goes bonkers in workouts and surpasses them that's your 3 guys between 3-5. Just simply choose 1 of them.

On the bright side, we did pick ROY.

LETS ****ING GO

 

[The_Jamal]

Of course it's 4 where there's some uncertainty lol.

Still, can't complain! Ivey and our choice of the tier 2 rather than just drafting the guy who falls in our lap. Maybe Sharpe or ivey really impress and one of the big fall.

Time to dive into some Ivey and Murray film.

You don’t think they would have to give up too much to move into the top 3? Are any of the big 3 worth a jump up?

There’s no way we would go with another dukie is there? We have such bad luck with players from Duke.

 

[DesertFox]

Crazy how something as small as jumping a few spots has lifted my hopes.
